Notre Dame Rules Top Heavy Favorite in Contest With Stanford New Years^ I - ® Record Crowd to Be on Hand to Witness Game Rock lie’s Brains and Craft Will Meet Test Against Those of Warner—Hoosier Eleven Flashier. By MARK KELLY. „ OS ANGELES, Dec. 27.—Notre Dame university's fool liall team — the most widely adver tised eleven the country ever haa Known — is ton top i heavy a favorite over Standford university at tills writing. In no place are reputations for past performances of such iittie worth as on the gridiron where ’ — tile uncertainties of sport —•known in football as "the breaks” — provide upset after upset, ami send reputed favorites down to defeat time after time. Standford tackles Notre Dame on New Year's day at Rose Bowl, Pasa dena, before 53,000 persons. Were the bowl large enough, there would be 90,000 in attendance, as It is con servatively estimated that more than 35,000 persons have been disappoint ed in the quest for the pasteboards. What few tickets have reached the hands of speculators are commanding fabulous prices. Recently a batch of six seats on the 30-yard line brought $250. Other prices have been quot ed at $15 for seats behind the goal posts tipto $50 for a single ticket within the seating zone of the playing field. Interest in the game Is national In . scope. Football writers from all parts of the country have deluged the committees with requests for work ing reservations. Coaches and ex perts from every conceivable spot where the great collegiate game is played are flocking to Los Angeles for the contest. \ delegation of 500 Chicago alumni of Notre Dame are due Tuesday, and it is said that many of them are without tickets, depending on getting Ilieni when they arrive here. The “fighting Irish'' of Notre I lame—28 strong, and headed by Kuute K. Rockne, their versatile and crafty coach—are due Wednesday morning. They plan to holt^ one light signal drill, aerlimate themselves to the turf of Rose Bowl and to hiber nate till game time on Thursday. Glen S. Warner, dean of American roaches and head mentor for Stan ford. brought his cardinal eleven in lo Pasadena tills morning. Standford comes witli its full sirength—stronger, in fact, than at any time during the season. Just rinsed. Th's is because of the return •.f Ernie Nevers. giant fullback who rips and tears perfectly good lines to pieeps when he hits ’em. Walter Hnswell drilled the squad In perfect physical condition for the gruelling gave that Notre Dame is expected to provide. Notre Dame, because of her high ly suocf ssful season against tough apposition, is made a two to one [nvoritc to defeat Stanford. The football world rates Rockne and Warner as its two best coaches Kcckne's brains and craft will meet it? supreme test against those of War ner. As a team Notre Dame Is the flashier. But AVarner is a foxy gen ii man. . JEFFERSON FARR First race; Purse, $700; 6 furlongs; laimlnsr; .Dyear-olda and up: < ro!<!

Nearly $2,000 were dropped Into the traasury of the amateur J baseball body from money paid Into the ticket office at League park. Fort Omaha, with $1,616.60, ranked second In providing funds for the expenses for the amateur game. Forffelt fees from the various teams put a little more than $1,000 into the treasury. The largest Item In the expendi tures of the amateur body was $2, 743.69, which covered the expense of sending eight teams on trip* to neigh boring cities.

San Francisco, Dec. 28.—Six unde feated football teams will clash In three Intersections! games In the far west on New Year's day. At Pasadena, Cal., Knute Rockne'a “four horsemen" and other trained performers from Notre I>ame will close a spectacular seaaon of un diluted victory hy meeting Olenn Warner* unbeaten Stanford eleven. At Berkeley, Andy Smith's Vniver sity of California Bears, undefeated in fiv years, will face T»u Young's Vnlversity of Pennsylvania team, one of the few unconquered outfits In the east. Over at Honolulu the T'nlverisity of Colorado, champlona of the Rooky Mountain conference, will sham the gridiron with the strong I'niversity of Hawaii eleven. While Notre Dame is an odds on favorite In the wagering, according to all reports, most observers look for a close game. Stanford supporters, although not optimistic, hope that the trickiness of Rockne and the “horse men" may t>e upset by the power of the Cardinal defense and that Warner may pry open a few strategies of his own. California and Pennsylvania are considered more evenly matched, anti betting is reported hesitant. Both teams have tome through in great shape this season. California has plaved two tie games—those with Washington and Stanford—while the Quakers were held to one—the score less affair with Penn Stale. There ts little tiasia of comparison for the Honolulu game. PROTESTED GRID GAME TO VILLISCA Ylllisca, la . Dec. 27. — By action of the Mat* athletic association.

Stricken bv athletic heart. Bailey is being kept alive In the Shell Oil com pany hospital by transfusion of blood, furnished by loyal friends and former teammates. Though his early recovery Is pre dicted, Bailey, who is credited with pitching the Omaha V-lub to a pen nant in the Western league during tHe season just closed, and in doing so worked more Innings than any other pitcher in organized baseball, will never again lead a team to vic tory, physicians declared. The terrific strain imposed by Bailey’s recordbreaking achievement in the 1924 season, coupled with his 19 years on the diamond, have weak ened his heart to the point where he will never again be able to engage in strenuous pursuits. The end of Bailey's brilliant base ball career was foreshadowed some time ago when an artery burst just above his heart. Scores of friends rallied to the aid of the baseball idol. Four blood transfusions took place in rapid suc cession. These. It was said by at tending physicians, are expected to lead to Bailey recovery. - -----tr Kaplan, Kramer Battle for Title X*> w York, De< . 2.—Fistic activi tie* this week will f-rav'1 the only question mark left in the list of ihanijilon* w'hen Dannv Kramer of Philadelphia and Ia»u1s (Kid) Kaplen of Meriden, Conn., me*t for 15 round* in Madison Square Carden for the featherweight title, on Friday night.
